Hello every one

Moving here from ML, as found that ML doesn't want people that have knowledge. After reading all the post which are very funny!!! Had a very good laugh, but that got exhausting of all the cheap tricks. Insult, name calling and the best one was when they compared me to Mig
That was priceless!!!!

My name is Ruslan, originally from Russia now living in USA.

Legal note;
This post is not a personal attack )

Welcome, Ruslan. I hope you behave better here than you did at M-L.

Ruslan welcome to the big A! I'm glad to have you aboard here. Looking forward to seeing your work. cheers Kevin

Welcome Aboard DoJo

Hello Dojo. Welcome to the BIG A.

enjoy your stay here and please share your expertise and experince to all of us...


ps: i love that ML jokes Sabot..haha

Gino P. Quintiliani, do you mean something like that;
I love you Mig, you are my God, please give me more. Is that Sherman with T-34 turret and you have photos of it, WOW!!!
Can try to, just don't know if it's going to work out
#:-)

Robin Gronovius, will social security number and copy of a driving license work for you?

Now see why every one left ML.

Thank you every one for a warn welcome!!
Are you sure I can say Constructive Comments here ?

Hi Ruslan!
Glad you made the change. You can indeed give constructive critisism here....in the proper forms of course .
The only thing we ask is that we're all polite to each other and be aware that we help all the younger modellers on the site.
Welcome.

Vinnie

Welcome Dojo.I still go to ML as it still has some very worthwhile subjects and interests.I contribute to it when and where I can,just like here.ML however,sometimes takes itself a little too seriously and loses the ability to laugh at itself. If it was a human,you might say it gets wound too tight now and then and needs to chill a little.
lemme buy ya beer comrade!

Zdravstvuite Ruslan

Welcome to Armorama.

You're gonna love this place

Welcome to our jungle, Ruslan. What is ML anyway?

Missing-Lynx modeling website. Another good site, especially for WWII modeling and good, accurate answers for tecnical questions, etc. Some great people there as well. Sometimes it is a little formal though, see posting guidlines (sort of) in MAJ Rob's post. Sometimes there are trolls there as well.

welcome to Big-A Ruslan. All constructive comments are welcomed in Armorama since I am a member of Armorama (2001)

There is nothing at all wrong with constructive comments as long as they are given in a polite manner, which was your problem on ML. Regardless I hope you enjoy Armorama.

Mike

Hi Ruslan, welcome aboard

Greetings Ruslan!

Welcome to Armorama.

Pre-story to the Mig.
As I been told by one of he's friend, he ignored my first post(just is delet, want to know why). And e-mail would be pointless as he could always say that he never got it and will take year to reply me. So only way to get he's attention is the way I did. They had a change of not getting all personal but they did, and my reply's to every one was nice.

This is what coming from Mig, he said that he's "friend" did it, yeah I know the friends story.

If you guys what some infromation.
Road wheels that are used on this model(T-34 STZ) from Tagil factory not STZ. Plus this road wheels had been made after production of STZ had ended.

missing antenna mount, photo that Mig showed me of T-34/85 can't be taken for account as T-34/85 had antenna mounted on the other side.

THank you again for a welcome.

Welcome, welcome...

fell like at home

Well Ruslan, first of all, welcome to the site. I'm sure that you can make a valuable and positive contribution..

One other thing, is that I honesly don't think that it is our place here to attack other sites. Everyone does things differently and each site has both its quirks and positive sides. That said, as far as pure information is concerned, Missing-Lynx is in a class of its own.. I dislike using the word 'expert', however, the expertise in the forums in ML is truly mind-boggling. Is it a 'friendly' site? Probably not, but that, in no way diminishes its value for the modeller...Jim

Rouslan I read that post on ML. While I don't doubt you know your material it was in the way that you wrote the post.

Just remember that Mig has a long standing reputation and you don't. Right or wrong, Mig has been around a long time and has built up a lot of credibility among not just at ML but in the entire model industry. While it sounds as if you really are really familiar with the T34, not many people know who you are from a hole in the wall. If you had rephrased your sentences somewhat I'm sure you would not have been so viciously flamed over there.

As you can see a long standing good reputation can allow one to get away with a few mistakes whereas a confrontational reputation can get you a lot of flak, even if you are accurate.

Welcome aboard!

Alan is pretty much on track with this observation,Dojo.
Mig is one hell of an artist in this hobby subject of ours,but the majority of his work would probably get kicked to death from a fanatical rivet review board.To me,he has been solidly on top in color choice and blending/presentation.There are only a few people that come even neighborly close when building catastrophically destroyed armor.He has an easy time pulling off this difficult look that is easily spoiled by the smallest error that will scream'fake'.
Ruslan,I respect your knowledge of the armor arena and wish to call on you for answers to those kind of questions in the future for a long time to come.
I can only suggest that you apply a little brotherly diplomatic touch to your helpful comments.I also realize language/grammer issues can make profound differances in communication and probably played a large part in the ML incident.
OK ?
Another round please......

Ola Ruslan

Let me say Welcome to Armorama mate. I really don`t care what happened at ML I haven`t read the topic. I can only say that you will experience Armorama as a really friendly site. And good knowledge is always welcome. I hope you have a good time here on Armorama and I hope we can enjoy your source of knowledge.
So... great to have you on board

And with a friendly greet
